There are definitely regional preferences for all the races and while we do get a lot of Indian people in Chicago there were not in Michigan or Minnesota at least when I lived there but there is also a preference for warmer areas like Arizona among people I know. People tend to pick areas that remind them of home. In this area there are way more GPs who are Indian than psychs so I'm not sure about the preference thing. My other pdoc was hispanic only the older pdocs around here tend to be white dudes, the young ones are pretty diverse. Its actually really nice because they tend to have multiple language options for people.
